Did I share this gingerbread recipe just in time?! I hope I’m not too late for all my gingerbread loving friends.

I promise this Almond Flour Gingerbread Loaf was worth the wait.

We are taking a break from sharing every cookie recipe imaginable to give you guys a little gingery loaf of sorts. I personally am all about the cookie life, but gingerbread is a must around the holiday season too. Especially one like this that is lower in sugar and can be served for breakfast, snack or dessert! Really anything if you ask me.

This gingerbread is paleo, gluten-free, grain-free and has no refined sugar in it.

It also doesn’t have a crazy long list of ingredients to bake it. Just a few we will get to soon!

I found this bread to really vary in baking times. Sometimes it needed 45 minutes, others 55 minutes then once 65+ plus. What I did notice is that I used different almond flours and nut butters each time so the consistency of those can really make a difference. Please have a little patience when baking it! It also will vary based on the oven you are using.

The key ingredients we need to bake this gluten-free Gingerbread Loaf:

  • Unsweetened organic applesauce. My personal go-to for baking and adding a little extra moisture to a recipe.
  • Creamy nut butter of choice. I love use pecan butter or almond butter in this recipe! It adds a subtle flavor that isn’t too overpowering. Plus you can smear a little extra on top after baking. Code RACHL for free shipping on this brand or I love using this almond butter too.
  • Organic molasses
  • Garden of Life Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. My go-to coconut oil for everything, always!
  • Eggs. I haven’t tested flax egg in this. It may work but to be honest, you never know with grain-free flours. If you test it and it works, please let me know!
  • Almond flour. I haven’t tested subs for this flour! Oat flour or spelt may work, but coconut flour isn’t a 1:1 sub.
  • Tapioca flour. I haven’t tested subs for this but arrowroot would work too.
  • Garden of Life Organic Flaxseed. I love adding this to recipes for an extra nutritional boost. It also helps bulk the bread up a bit.
  • Coconut sugar. Just a little for extra sweetness! Can totally omit if you prefer.
  • Spices! I use a mix of allspice, ginger and cinnamon.

Don’t forget about those Soft and Chewy Ginger Cookies (paleo + vegan) too!
